In a recent study by PC Mag, AT&T’s LTE network was found to be the fastest among the top 4 carriers. But Verizon was found to be the most reliable. That’s because Big Red has 4G coverage in nearly 200 more markets than AT&T does.

But it’s working hard to change that. This morning, the nation’s second largest wireless provider posted a number of press releases announcing that it has rolled out LTE to new markets, and expanded coverage in several existing markets…

As for the new markets, AT&T has activated LTE in the following areas:

AT&T says that its LTE network is now live in nearly 300 markets, and over 90% of its mobile data traffic now runs over enhanced backhaul that supports both HSPA+ and 4G LTE. And it expects to cover 300 million people with LTE by 2014.

LTE coverage is becoming increasingly important for users, as more and more mobile devices take advantage of the technology. Verizon has a commanding lead in this space, AT&T is in second, and both Sprint and T-Mobile are way behind.

Feeling more and more good about my decision to stick to my grandfathered unlimited plan, especially since I’m due for an upgrade in October. I was seriously considering moving to VZW for decent LTE but AT&T seems to be backing up their talk to finally invest in their cellular infrastructure. Thank goodness!

On the AT&T website it says I have LTE in my city, but yet there isn’t LTE.
